Why Meritorious Artist Trinh Trinh has a fate with the role of Bui Thi Xuan

Meritorious Artist Trinh Trinh as Bui Thi Xuan

The line: "Xuan, I am a woman. As a woman, please allow me to live according to my emotions. I will leave the rules and etiquette behind" by the character Bui Thi Xuan was performed with great emotion by Meritorious Artist Trinh Trinh.

The role captivated the audience with short scenes, appearing in dialogue with the character Nguyen Hue, considered the most expensive in the Vietnamese historical play that People's Artist Hong Van and Meritorious Artist Kim Tu Long invested in staging for the first time.

Meritorious Artist Trinh Trinh confided that the role was at a mature age for her current age, so she could easily sympathize. When she became a wife and a mother, Bui Thi Xuan loved her soldiers with the love of a mother for her children. A guard was forced by a criminal to drink alcohol and burn precious books to warm himself in the bitter cold. According to the law, he should have been beheaded as an example, but she stopped Nguyen Hue and that debate made Bui Thi Xuan shed tears.

The debate between Nguyen Hue and Bui Thi Xuan about how to treat soldiers is considered emotional in the play "Love story of Thang Long".

"When I read the script, I immediately felt that it was a good performance. When I was on stage rehearsing with Kim Tu Long, Ms. Hong Van gave me more advice so that I could convey to the audience the most important messages of this role. How to make Bui Thi Xuan's appearance lively. Bui Thi Xuan's debate with Nguyen Hue aimed to find unity in how to command the army. As a female general, the role was filled with the emotions of a woman but still dignified, assertive and not succumbing to hardship" - Meritorious Artist Trinh Trinh said.

Because of her in-depth character development and research into her transformation, her role received critical acclaim.

During her artistic career, Meritorious Artist Trinh Trinh participated in many different versions featuring the character Bui Thi Xuan. The most memorable memory was the excerpt "Thanh Kiem Nu Tuong" edited by People's Artist Thanh Tong, which helped her compete for the Tran Huu Trang Gold Medal Award in 1995.

"That year, my father, the late artist Huu Canh, despite being treated for an illness, still went backstage at the Hoa Binh Theater to support me. He read the lines of the father character, while my mother, the late artist Xuan Yen, played the role of the nanny, supporting me. That was an unforgettable memory with the role of Bui Thi Xuan that helped me win the Tran Huu Trang Gold Medal that year" - Meritorious Artist Trinh Trinh recalled.

Later, in the play "Spring on Thang Long land" by author Bach Long, also based on the script "Thanh Kiem Nu Tuong", Meritorious Artist Trinh Trinh also had the chance to play the role of Bui Thi Xuan. Explaining why she had a chance to play Bui Thi Xuan, she recognized that the character's personality was strong and decisive, similar to her own, always living in harmony and devoted to everyone, so with the play "Tinh Su Thang Long", this role once again left a mark in her artistic journey.

"I only regret that the rehearsal time was too short, making the play not really creative. But when rehearsing, the dialogue of the late author Luu Quang Vu was very good, rich in imagery and emotion, the more you listen, the more it resonates and enhances the patriotic spirit in every viewer's soul" - Meritorious Artist Trinh Trinh acknowledged.
